For Ronda Rousey, 14 seconds is nice, but not a personal record

For Ronda Rousey, 14 seconds is nice, but not a personal record

Ronda Rousey won her last fight in just 14 seconds, successfully defending her UFC women's bantamweight title against previously unbeaten Cat Zingano by catching Zingano in an arm bar.

The fight before that, she needed just 16 seconds to best Alexis Davis at UFC 175.

Rousey has become the talk of the sports world because of her dominance. On Monday, former New York Mets general manager Steve Phillips and  1996 National League Rookie of the Year Todd Hollandsworth mentioned her on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM, and they joked about which baseball player they could find who could hang with Rousey in a fight.

On "WWE Raw" on Monday, just two days after Rousey's incredible victory over Zingano at Staples Center in Los Angeles, Paul Heyman was doing a promo for ex-UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar's match at WrestleMania against Roman Reigns that is set for later this month.

Heyman told Reigns, "Brock Lesnar [might] simply Ronda Rousey your ass."

She's been so dominant there has even been crazy talk of her fighting a man. But such quick wins are nothing new to Rousey. When she was 14 and competing in judo, she defeated an opponent in just four seconds using an Ippon, or perfect throw.

The entire video is below. And while it's not of the greatest quality, it's obvious that Rousey was just as dominant as a young girl as she is now. She also has the giddy celebration that she still uses in the UFC.
